Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes

Modern stem cell therapy is a potentially effective method to treat Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, and can free patients from dependence on insulin injections. Stem cells can differentiate into different types of cells in the body. This makes stem cells one of the best possible treatmentfor diabetes, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

Diabetes is caused by a lack of functioning beta cells or b-cells.

Type 1 Diabetes results from immunosuppression – the body's immune system actively destroys its supply of b-cells.

Type 2 Diabetes is caused due to theb-cells’ inability to produce sufficient levels of insulin to overcome the developed insulin resistance.

A cure for diabetes should be able to replace or replenish b-cells. The most effective way to do so was a b-cell transplant. However, this requires at least 2-3 healthy donors. In addition, high doses of immunosuppressive drugs are needed to prevent the body from rejecting the donor cells.

Stem cells and Diabetes

Stem cells can help the recipient achieve a high number of new b-cells without the disadvantages of a transplant. Once introduced into a patient, the stem cells reach the damaged tissue, differentiate into new b-cells, and maintain a healthy level of b-cells in the body. Stem cells can be pre-differentiated in the lab into insulin-producing cells and directly replenish depleted cells in a patient's body. These methods can help to manage Type 1 diabetes without the need for donor cells.

Similarly, stem cells can treat Type 2 Diabetes, supplementing the body's b-cells to overcome the insulin resistance. With stem cell treatment, continuously b-cells levels can be maintained above the required amount to overcome insulin resistance.

Advances are continuously being made in the treatment of diabetes with stem cells and stem cell research is evolving rapidly. Stem cells have shown great promise in replenishing b-cells both in the body and pre-differentiation in the labfor implantation. However, additional treatment may be required along with stem cell therapy to ensure the body safely accepts the new cells and restores to normal blood glucose levels more permanently.

Lab tests have already shown that stem cell treatments are able to successfully avoid autoimmune response to the stem cells in non-obese diabetic mice.
